Identify
Through interest and attention you’ve come to be able to identify elements within a specific category subskill by the collective of your senses. Identifying qualities generally takes one hour of careful experimentation. With the proper equipment, this time is reduced to ten minutes. Some elements have exceptions, such as cursed or enchanted items, and may require special tools or senses to properly Identify.
Educated Guess
A Character with the appropriate subskill may attempt an Educated Guess. An Educated Guess will result in either Success where they for certain know the target’s properties, or Failure where they know for certain they don’t know the properties.
Educated Guess: [1AS|1RS|1FP] Attempt to Identify Target’s Properties (v20).
Educated Guess does not benefit from Attributes or Derivatives, but may see bonuses from special items or Effect Trees. Failing an Educated Guess will require the Character to go through the normal process for Identify to determine properties.
Once this process is complete with a specific target, the knowledge is permanent.
